Event Information: March 24 @ 5:00pm at the Stratford Festival. Specific Location at the Festival TBD. (dinner will be provided). This professional development session will equip teachers with strategies to introduce Shakespeare’s works through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion, making his plays relevant and accessible to today’s students. Educators will consider how Shakespeare’s characters and stories can highlight issues of justice, power, and human rights, themes that resonate strongly even with younger learners who naturally recognize fairness and unfairness. Through interactive activities and performance-based approaches, teachers will learn how to frame Shakespeare’s texts as opportunities for students to question perspectives, challenge stereotypes, and explore their own voices within the material. Participants will leave with practical tools to reimagine Shakespeare in the classroom. Registration Closes on March 10. Please note: Dinner will be provided. There is no cost to attend this workshop. This workshop will be approximately 2 hours long. If it takes you longer to get to the office from your location, we still suggest registering and coming in a little bit late. REGISTER HERE: https://forms.gle/nckNLPgHrZ5DsT367
